A boy loved reading and hearing fables of 'Heroes' to the point of idealizing them meets the harsh reality of the unfair world.
The same boy was bestowed the title of 'Villain' for taking vengeance for his loved ones and protecting those others deemed beyond saving...
Out of his ventures, he got blessed by the Heavens with a second chance at life, but not without its cost...
In his second life, he faced the moral dilemma of whether to defy fate and become a hero, fall deeper into the abyss and become a true villain, or just ignore everything and isolate himself from the world.
This is the story of a boy who was born in a cultivation world where might is right, strength reigns supreme, and he was deigned weak.
Yet the world had no place for the weak, be it his family, his fellow cultivators, commoners, powerful elites...
Against all odds, the boy reigned supreme, only to fall at the ploy of fate...
He returns to the past, with the item he was being hunted for in the first place.
Now, what shall his destiny be?
This story is anything but a cliché, where a kid fights the world's strongest and saves the world from doom. No, he might as well be the one bringing the world to its doom.

The Villain Returns!

While Elric and his followers were completely astonished at the current turn of events, Raon was also back to his original self as he decided to push the blame on Elric with proof.

He didn't even know what was going on until he woke up to reality and realized his current situation, after which he decided to end it here rather than at a later date.

Although it will hinder his first plan, which should have sped up Lia's breakthrough since he would have given her the perfect cultivation technique, he couldn't do anything other than postpone it.

The elders had obviously sensed it as soon as his cultivation started getting absolved because it was a punishment for heinous crimes if caught, and they had given the punishment enough times to know.

The elders, without any pre-planned arrangements, all arrived at Elric's abode after sensing the spiritual energy leaking into the surroundings.
